Watch Your Step

Poem

Wandering in the morning light
Change is happening left and right
Will change take me by surprise?
Or will it pass me by?
Sweep me away
But don’t kill my history
Give me novelty
But please respect my story
Lift me off my feet
but don’t knock me over
I know it’s inevitable
But I hope it brings me closer
I want to reach higher ground
I want to wear my personal crown
I want to see what it’s all about
I want to speak aloud with a doubt
I want to make a grand decision
But without any life incision
